Totem should have a 'sidebar open/closed' setting for both single and multiple files

[Aaron Whitehouse]

I like that Totem is clever enough to remember how I last had my sidebar (collapsed/hidden or expanded/visible).

What annoys me is that I use Totem for both multiple files and single files. When I play a single file I have no need of a playlist, when I play a list of files, I often want the sidebar there.

I think that the best solution to this problem is to remember two settings for the sidebar instead of just the one. Whether the sidebar is displayed when playing a single file should be determined by whether the user had the sidebar open when they last listened to a single file. Whether the sidebar is displayed when listening to multiple files should be determined by whether the user had the sidebar open when they last listened to multiple files.

The default, in my opinion, should be collapsed for a single file and expanded for multiple files.
